Built in 1875 on [[reclaimed land]], it was owned by the mercantile company [[David Sassoon & Co.]] The company was headed by [[Albert Abdullah David Sassoon]] (1818–1896), son of [[David Sassoon (treasurer)|David Sassoon]], a [[Baghdadi Jew]] and the leader of the [[History of the Jews in India|Jewish community in Bombay]]. The Sassoon Docks were the first commercial wet dock in [[western India]] and helped establish the cotton trade. In 1879, Sassoon Docks and other associated foreshore properties were purchased by the government on behalf of Bombay Port Trust.<ref name=":0" /> The Sassoon Docks encouraged the [[Bombay Presidency]] to promote the construction of the large Prince's Dock. The Sassoon factories that produced silk and cotton goods in Bombay, also furnished employment for a large amount of native labor.
